With just days to go until schools reopen, there are bound to be many frazzled parents gnashing their teeth with impatience and wondering why it can’t be this week, rather than next.
But hold your horses, people! There is a silver lining to the delay, and it’s not just the fact that it gives teachers adequate time to prepare. No, a March 8th reopening means that the horrors of World Book Day are swerved by a whole four days.

For, as many parents may well remind themselves, what’s grappling with a fronted adverbial compared with a last-minute attempt to cobble together an Iron Giant costume out of tin foil? What’s the sullen face of a recalcitrant youngster, compared with the smug gurnings of that school-gates mum (you know the one) who has crafted her little darling’s costume from moonbeams and unicorn tears whilst whipping up a gluten-free, dairy-free souffle and practising pilates?
